For this fieldwork project, I have decided to analyze a poem. Out of the many poems that I have read in my entire life, I can’t recall one that really caught my attention and made me want to keep reading. That is, until now.

First, I would like to say that each stanza in this poem, had me feeling some type of way. Each line, brought a mess of imagery in my mind. Every dash I glanced at, made me more impatient to move my eyes toward the next line. Individually, I noticed there are capital letters in some lines and I think that they are in one way or another imperative to the poem—but how? I asked myself critical thinking questions as well as creative ones. Why is it that I enjoy reading this poem so much? It is an artistically written piece of literature that surely aroused my thoughts on Women Power, and I would like to share it.
